Yes. Trying to use any other transfer case is going to create all kinds of headaches. Unless you plan to swap axles too you should stick with the factory case. FWIW you can run your driveshafts at an angle. It's more complicated to set up though...

That's what I was thinking too; I would have thought you would use a transfer case to transmission adaptor.

Are you not using the factory transfer case? It offsets the drivelines to the correct alignment assuming you keep it relative position between the frame rails the same.

Factory horns were sounding a little tired so upgraded to a new set of Hella horns. Much louder.

No reason you can't unless it's damaged somehow.

Those ends are crimped so yes it's possible. Probably a waste of time though as the rubber line itself is deteriorated and it will likely just fail again in short order.

Basically the tan (oak) is no longer available. Only the gray.

To get the drills started get a center punch and punch a mark into the center of the bolt. Do not use an ez out. Those bolts broke for a reason. All you are going to do is break that ez out off in the bolt and then you're really screwed. Once...

Agreed. New quality wheels are that much or more so that cost is well within reason for what looks like a brand new factory wheel.

I just had a set of wheels powder coated for a project we are working on. It was 130 bucks each and they were new wheels. Your pricing for a finished wheel is quite reasonable in my view.

The Duplicolor Graphite Wheel Paint is almost an exact match for the darker windows on the 40th wheels. That's what I used and I could not see any difference between it and the factory coating. Graphite High Performance Wheel Coating 12 oz...

Very nice work. Great to have this as an option for people to restore the factory wheels. I just sanded mine, they came out ok but nothing like your results. I've already scraped them up on rocks though.

It's possible you bent the mounting studs where the fan sits on the clutch. It's also possible there is a flaw in the new fan you got.

I had a first gen 4 runner (the IFS version, not the good one) which I liked but wanted to add lockers. When I saw the prices of front and rear lockers for that truck I started looking for used axles with lockers in them already. That got me...

good timing, thanks for reminding me, I need to fill out the form for oak sun visors.

Truck dropped off to Torfab for all the things. Looking forward to some wheeling when I get back to Seattle!

We should just upload the discontinued thread

Throw a 1 inch body lift on and no rubbing at all. Then you don’t lose up travel with the bump stop extensions. I run Icon 3 inch springs up front and dobinsons 2.5” in the rear with 315’s and the body lift. Works great.

Thank you for bringing that to my attention :cool:

Sharing information and providing understanding are not the same thing 😬

Expensive ideas… it’s in the signature

As a x surfer I to live near the beach with a great white water ocean view but as other have said its really hard on metal. Everything rust it's a lot of extra work. I'm over it but my wife refuses to relocate and I only get a 49 present vote...

You’d be surprised at how badly the salt air can corrode vehicles and other steel if you’re close to the ocean. I used to build art work for peoples beach houses in San Diego area and if it wasn’t coated correctly it would severely rust after a...
